STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS
(Pursuant to Section 134(3) of the Companies Act, 2017)
This Statement sets out the material facts pertaining to the special business to be transacted at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting of the Company to be held on June 02, 2026. The special business concerns the approval of the members for the sale and disposal of the entire plant, machinery, equipment, stores, and ancillaries of Spinning Unit-1 of the Company located at Nooriabad, S.I.T.E. District Jamshoro, Sindh, under Section 183(3)(a) of the Act.
I. Particulars of the Sizeable Part of the Company to be Sold
| S. No. | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| a) | Description / name of asset | The assets intended for sale comprise the entire plant, machinery and allied equipment of the Company's Spinning Unit-1 located at Nooriabad, S.I.T.E. District Jamshoro, Sindh (the "Said Assets"). These include all production machinery (blow-room lines, carding machines, draw frames, simplex/flyer frames, ring spinning frames, cone winders and the like) as well as auxiliary and utility equipment (generators, electric transformers, compressors, laboratory equipment, waste-collection systems, stores and other miscellaneous factory tools). A detailed inventory of the machinery (make, model, year of purchase) is available for inspection by members at the Registered Office. |
| b) | Acquisition date | The original spinning machinery was installed and commissioned in 1988; Various subsequent additions and replacements have been made over the years. Given the age of the core machines and the rapid technological advances in textile machinery, a significant portion of the Said Assets is technologically outdated for efficient yarn production, which is a factor in the decision to sell. |
| c) | Cost | The historical cost of the Said Assets, as recorded in the Company's fixed asset register, is PKR 945.5 million, which after depreciation results in a book value of PKR 274.4 million |
| d) | Revalued amount and date of revaluation (if applicable) | The Said Assets were revalued by M/s. The Custodial Management Services (Pvt.) Limited, an independent valuer empanelled with the State Bank of Pakistan and the Pakistan Banks' Association, in their valuation report dated 16 February 2026. The aggregate market value of the Said Assets as per that report is PKR 400.3 million and the forced sale value (FSV) is PKR 280.2 million. |
| e) | Book value | The net book value of the Said Assets as at 31 December 2025 (auditor reviewed accounts) is PKR 274.4 million. |
| f) | Approximate current market price / fair value | The Company aims to secure a sale price approximating the appraised forced sale value of PKR 280.2 million. The actual sale price will, however, depend on market demand, the condition of individual machines and the negotiation process. Given the specialised nature and age of certain machines, a portion of the Said Assets may realise a price below fair value if sold on a scrap basis or to a limited pool of buyers; the relevant reasons are set out in row (g) below. The Audit Committee will oversee the sale process to ensure transparency and the best achievable price. |
| g) | In case of sale, if the expected sale price is lower than book / fair value, the reasons | The Company will use reasonable endeavours to obtain the appraised fair value. However, (i) the age of the machinery, (ii) limited demand for second-hand spinning machinery in the current market, (iii) the cost to the Company of continuing to maintain idle equipment, and (iv) the time-criticality of the Company's revival plan, may compel a sale at a price below fair value/forced sale value. Any such sale will be made only after the Audit Committee has reviewed and approved the rationale, and the Board has recorded its reasons in writing. |
| h) | In case of lease — terms | Not applicable. The transaction is a sale, not a lease. |
|---|---|---|
| i) | Additional information | The Said Assets are subject to charges in favour of several financial institutions. The Company has commenced discussions with the secured creditors for the release of these charges, and the resolution is conditional on receipt of their NOCs. No regulatory approval other than shareholder approval is required for the transaction. There is no expected impact on the Company's ongoing operations at Spinning Unit-2, Bhikhi. |
| (j) | Proposed manner of disposal of the Said Assets | The Said Assets will be disposed of by way of negotiated sale and executed by the CEO and the Director authorised under the resolution, in a manner that the Audit Committee considers most beneficial to the members of the Company. |
| (k) | Identification of buyer; related-party disclosure | No buyer has been identified at the date of this Notice. The Company shall exercise all reasonable diligence in identifying buyer(s) willing to pay fair market value. The Company confirms that, as at the date of this Notice, no related party (within the meaning of Section 208 of the Act and the applicable accounting standards) is being considered as a buyer of the Said Assets. Should a related-party buyer be subsequently identified, fresh shareholder approval (and Audit Committee approval) will be obtained in accordance with Section 208 of the Act. |
| (l) | Purpose of the sale and details | |
| (m) | Utilisation of proceeds | Crescent Fibres Limited has faced significant financial and operational challenges over the past several years. Spinning Unit-1 has incurred sustained losses on account of obsolete machinery, weak market demand for its yarn, rising input costs (cotton and energy) and intense competition. For the financial year ended 30 June 2025, the Company recorded a substantial loss. The proceeds of sale are proposed to be applied as follows: (i) repayment of identified financial indebtedness, with a view to reducing the Company's finance cost; (ii) towards balancing, modernisation and replacement (BMR), including solar power installation, at Spinning Unit-2 located at Bhikhi, District Sheikhupura; and (iii) the balance, if any, towards working capital |
| (n) | Effect on operational capacity | Spinning Unit-1 has been non-operational and is not currently contributing to the Company's production capacity. Accordingly, the disposal of the Said Assets will have no adverse effect on the Company's ongoing operational capacity. The Company's spinning capacity will continue to be operated through Spinning Unit-2 at Bhikhi, which is expected to benefit from the BMR / solar capex described above. |
| (o) | Quantitative and qualitative benefits to members | Quantitative — the proposed transaction is expected to: (i) reduce the Company's aggregate finance cost (ii) reduce the Company's energy cost at Spinning Unit-2 through the proposed solar-power conversion, and (iii) eliminate the holding cost of idle plant and machinery. Qualitative — the transaction is expected to improve the Company's liquidity, balance-sheet quality and creditworthiness, and to align the Company's asset base with its current and intended business operations. |
II. Nature and Extent of Interest of Directors
No director of the Company has any direct or indirect interest in the special business set out above, save and except for the authority being delegated under the resolution to Mr. Imran Maqbool, Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Humayun Maqbool, Director for the limited purpose of executing the sale of the Said Assets in accordance with the resolution. Neither Mr. Imran Maqbool nor Mr. Humayun Maqbool is a buyer of, or has any interest (whether financial or otherwise) in any prospective buyer of, the Said Assets, nor in the appointed valuer.
III. Expected Time of Completion
It is expected that a binding agreement to sell will be executed within twelve (12) months from the date on which the special resolution is passed by the members. Receipt of consideration and transfer of title shall take place in accordance with the agreement to be executed with the buyer.
IV. Availability of Relevant Documents
Copies of all relevant documents including the relevant Board and Audit Committee minutes, the audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025, and the latest fixed-asset register entries for the Said Assets are available for inspection at the Registered Office of the Company on any working day, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., up to and June 01, 2026.
V. Audit Committee Review
